Photographer's Note

The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China has at least 7,840 high-rise buildings, with no fewer than 1,303 skyscrapers standing taller than 100 m and at least 316 buildings over 150 m in height. The tallest of these skyscrapers is the 108-storey International Commerce Centre, completed in 2010, which stands 484 m and is the ninth tallest building in the world. Furthermore, reflective of the SAR's high population densities, Hong Kong has more people living at the 15th floor or higher than any other place in the world.

The skyline of Hong Kong is considered amongst the best in the world, with the surrounding mountains and Victoria Harbour complementing the skyscrapers. Each evening, at least 44 skyscrapers and buildings on both sides of Victoria Harbour light up in a synchronised show called A Symphony of Lights, named by the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest permanent light and sound festival in the world.

Hmm, After reading this I expected the really spectacular show. But it was a big disappointment. There were only these green laser lights. The skyline looks more beautiful before the show.

The building with two small antennas, on the left side is Bank of China Tower, designed by the Chinese American architect I.M. Pei, the tower is 315 m high with two masts reaching 367.4 m high. The tallest building here is Two International Finance Centre (abbreviated 2IFC), currently the second tallest building in Hong Kong at 415.8 m tall. It became the tallest building in Hong Kong upon its completion in 2003 until it was surpassed by the ICC in 2009.

A night picture where almost never becomes night.
Also your second picture is nice but the main picture is the most beautiful
A lovely reflections view, with different nice buildings in background.
Composition and presentation are superb.
Sharpness and colours are nice to look at.
Very well done, TFS.

Hello Malgo,
I cannot help but agree with you; the light show did not really live up to my expectations either, perhaps we are getting old and have already seen it all:-) Your shot is successful nevertheless, well framed and ideally exposed with excellent colours and sharpness. I like the inclusion of the ferries

You may have been disappointed but, on this photograph, the skyline looks amazing!
The buildings have an eclectic mix of colours, all making them colourful against the night sky and giving an equally wonderful show as reflections in the water!

Hello Malgo,
Maybe the flame towers in Baku would please you more. They really perform a spectacular show, even though they are just three buildings. To my mind this green ray is more photogenic than a lot of lights flying across the entire sky. It is a great complement to the lights of the individual buildings. The reflections in the water are also enjoyable.
Kind regards,
Gert

The colorful lights look beautiful in this impressive cityscape captured in a perfectly executed night shot! Perfect light management and sharpness! The reflections on the water are beautiful! Very nice job!

Hi Malgo,
You had an exceptional clear evening and collected this fabulous lights display.
Every evening, at 20:00h local time, I recall the laser-lights show is on.
When we were there it was a misty night and the outcome of my photo was not good at all. Excellent view across the strait, distinct clarity of each of the tall building in Victoria.
Good evening,
Ike
